Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Prepare Dough: Unroll the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. If using homemade dough, roll it into a 12×16-inch rectangle.

Spread Sauce: Evenly spread pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Add Cheese and Pepperoni: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, followed by the pepperoni pieces.

Cut into Strips: Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into strips about 1-inch wide.

Twist (Optional): Twist each strip gently to form a spiral, adding a fun, visual appeal.

Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the pizza sticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.

Brush with Olive Oil: Brush each pizza stick with olive oil to help them crisp up during baking.

Season: Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, and optionally, top with grated Parmesan, red pepper flakes, and/or garlic powder for extra flavor.

Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pizza sticks are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Cool and Serve: Allow the pizza sticks to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce or marinara sauce for dipping.
